Each Infantry Soldier belongs to one of the Infantry regiments of the Canadian Army, some of which bear battle honours more than a century old. As the Army's primary war-fighters and the core of the Combat Arms team, Infantry Soldiers are responsible for closing with and destroying the enemy. Supported by the Artillery, regiments of Armour and the Combat Engineers, Infantry Soldiers are capable of operating anywhere in the world in any environment — Arctic tundra, mountains, jungle or desert — and in any combination of arms, including airmobile and amphibious operations.

Infantry Soldiers have the following primary duties:
Expertly operate and maintain a wide range of personal and section-level weapons, including rifle (with and without bayonet), hand-grenades, light, medium and heavy machine-guns; and anti-tank weapons;
Use sophisticated equipment for field communications, navigation and night-vision surveillance;
Inspect and maintain weapon systems, vehicles and equipment (including clothing, survival gear and personal defensive equipment);
Participate in airborne operations;
Operate with support elements such as fighter aircraft, tactical helicopters (troop-carrying and reconnaissance) and artillery;
Engage in unarmed combat; and
Employ fieldcraft and battle procedures including camouflage and concealment, patrol, assault, defence, and escape-and-evasion tactics.

  • This video is about joining the Canadian Infantry, NOT political debates or arguments about who has the most powerful military.

    Canadian & American soldiers are brothers in arms, & sisters.

    I don't know why you Canucks & Yankees really care who has a stronger army.

  • Is the c7 fully automatic?

  • @Muraz72 It has Auto & Semi fire modes.

  • I can't wait till next year! Joining the military has been my dream since I was 6..being well enough to join or be apart of the JTF2 is where I want to be.

  • @TheLincolnWorld You are so right.

  • I bet you anything that people who argue about the strength of one's army is not willing to serve for that said army.

  • @SNeyePED I think you'll find the majority of the insurgency was crushed. Toward the end it was just sporadic pockets of resistance. There goes your theory.

    US never "retreated" in Vietnam. You use your rhetoric and semantics to make it sound like you're right , but you're not. The US military did its job in Vietnam, it successfully prevented the South from being overrun by the North. Only a year after the peace treaty was signed and troops gone did the North break it and invade.

  • @OlderG0ds (Continuation) And to know you guys thought Iraq would be changed after you left, that is hilarious. The middle east will always be a shit hole with no hope. OH and even after the peace treaty was signed in Vietnam, fighting still happened after both parties signed.

  • @OlderG0ds You took over Iraq, but not successfully. You did not fulfill the objective to remove the majority of insurgency and only fulfilled the objective of extracting oil from that country and taking out Saddam and replacing him with another tool. The invasion of Iraq only made the middle east hate your country even more.

    Being shit on in other words means you retreated. No, I never said Iraq had more casualties, I said that Many died in Vietnam and a large quantity in Iraq.

  • @SNeyePED The "US Senate" said no such thing. We took over Iraq in 3 weeks flat, took out their military and government and occupied it. How is that losing? If anyone lost it was Iraq, and quite badly.

    In Vietnam we never lost a damn battle, how is that us being shit on? You think more troops died in Iraq than Vietnam? You equate a withdrawal after a peace treaty was signed to military defeat?? What kind of retard are you? Go on and prove your ignorance some more, I love a comedian.

  • @OlderG0ds You're an idiot. The US Senate even said Iraq was a failure.When your own government says it's a failure, IT'S A FAILURE. Same thing with Vietnam. In Vietnam, you guys were getting shit on so you decided to pull out.~60,000 died in Vietnam for no reason and much more in Iraq. Both of those nations are still fucked up as much as they were before you invaded. Congratu-fucking-lations.

  • @SNeyePED They took over Iraq in 21 days, what the hell are you talking about? And they never even tried to take over Vietnam they stayed in the South Vietnam which were US allies. They were not allowed to invade the North. Learn some facts you ignorant fuckstick.

  • @max432156 Cant come up with a better comeback then that.
